'BUILDING' FOR BRUSSELS
Mayor's declaration
designates 'Day1
for FOGHORN
By RICH HARCOURT
The entire San Francisco city government is rallying
behind the FOGHORN'S efforts to publish a newspaper at the
Brussels World's Fair as an example of the American
Collegiate Press.
Acting Mayor Herold S. Dobbs signed an official
Proclamation declaring that yesterday was "UNIVERSITY
OF SAN FRANCISCO'S FOGHORN DAY" in the city.
"I . . . urge officials and citizens of our City to exert
every effort to have the FOGHORN designated as the collegiate newspaper to be published at the Brussels World's Fair,"
Dobbs stated.
Earlier in the week the Judges of the City's Superior
Court issued a Resolution commending the FOGHORN
because it "exemplifies the highest tradition of the independent collegiate press, having for seven consecutive semesters
received the All American Award for College Newspapers."
Dr. Charles Ertola, a member of the Board of Supervisors, pn Monday proposed another Resolution which was
sent to the State Department. The resolution was passed
unanimously by the City's Legislature.
Other important City officials have come to the FOGHORN'S side in their "Brussels or Bust" campaign. Both
City Attorney Dion Holm and Sheriff Matt Carberry sent
telegrams to the State Department officials heading the
United States Exhibit at the Fair.
Acting Mayor Dobbs also sent telegrams last week in
which he stated that "any consideration given the University
of San Francisco (concerning the project) will be appreciated."
In a Chronicle interview, FOGHORN business Manager
Bob Verzello announced that a letter was fired off to
Ameleto Cicognani, Papal Nuncio, in Washington, D.C.
"We told him the city of San Francisco is rallying to our
side in our campaign to get into the U.S. Pavilion," Verzello
said. "We also told him that if we publish the FOGHORN in
the Vatican exhibit at the Fair it would make an interesting
and unusual display for the Roman Catholic Church."
Verzello also explained that the FOGHORN staff will

Labor leaders clash
over 'right to work'
Young Republicans' debate features
heated argument on initiative
By DICK DURIS
.FOGHORN Managing Editor
The controversial "right to
work" initiative was put
through the mill Wednesday
evening in a debate sponsored
by the Young Republicans of
San Francisco.
The debate, hetd in the
lecture room of Gleeson Library, pitted George Johns,
Chairman of the San Francisco Labor Council, against
Don Sands of the Right to
Work Committee.
United States Senator William F. Knowland is the advocate of this initiative,' which
proposes the outlawing of the
union shop and a "Workers'
Bill of Rights" in the form of
a congressional bill dealing
with "union democracy:"
Johns stated that there are
no rights involved.
Title misleading
"The title of the initiative is
misleading. Senator Know-
land's document does not advocate any rights for the
worker; instead, such a law
will endanger the worker.
' "Such a law would make an
open union shop compulsory,"
said Johns. "What Senator
Knowland wants may sound
good, but believe me there are
many pitfalls in such a law."
Comparing two cities, Reno,
Nevada, which has a right to
work law, and Chico, California
which hasn't such a law, Johns
illustrated his point stating:
"In Reno, where the right to
work bill has been put in, the
average wage is $79 compared
to $90 in Chico. Reno has no
welfare plan, no sick leave
program and no pension plan
whereas Chico has all of
these."
Feeling that the issue is
"choice" Sands stated:
"The problem boils down
to whether you want to earn
your bread and butter by
being compelled to join a
union. No lasting good has
come from compulsion. With
a closed shop the worker is
forced to pay dues and fees
in order to make a living; it
makes captive those who op-

Unsupported
Jazz fete
loses money
Civic Auditorium show
draws thin audience;
fund takes $3000 loss
By WILL REITH
FOGHORN Copy Editor
San Francisco's Civic Auditorium has a seating capacity
of 7,800. Paid admissions to
the ASUSF Jazz Concert last
Sunday evening were 1,300;
there were fifty-eight USF students who paid to attend the
three and one-half hour show.
The result: a net take of
$2,789 which "adds up" to an
overall loss of $3,000.
Charlie Stern, realizing the
dire straits into which ASUSF
finances were thrown, turned
down down, "out of the kindness of his heart,0 his ten per
cent commission, which would
have amounted to about $2SJ.
Lack of support
Stern attributed the loss
mainly to lack of student
support and cooperation.
Guy Lounibos, ASUSF Vice-
President, believes that such
a staggering financial loss
could not have been brought
about only one main cause
but by a combination of circumstances.
He gave the following causes
as behind Sunday evening's
concert's low attendance:
(1) Weak student backing
and cooperation;
(2) Billy Graham's evangelical crusade at the Cow Palace
and
(3) The Giants' doublehead-
er (which went into extra innings) that same Sunday evening;
(4) The mere fact that Sunday evening is a poor night to
hold public presentations;
(5) The lack of loose change
in Mr. General Public's pockets due to the present recession.
"The great success of last
year's Jazz Concert was due to
its strong support by the San
Francisco Symphony," said
Lounibos. "Sunday's concert
was not supported by that organization. We greatly underestimated the Symphony's
powerful support and its giant
mailing list of over 25,000.
Although this is conjecture, I venture to say that
the great majority of those
attending the jazz concert of
last year were friends of the
San Francisco Symphony.
Not capable
"We (the ASUSF) were just
not capable of replacing the
Symphony in regard to support and cooperation for the
Jazz Concert—even if our support and cooperation were
utilized to the maximum," said
Lounibos.
"I don't see how interest in
Jazz has dropped from last
year," Lounibos said., "There
certainly was no fault in publicity, for this year's publicity
was twice as good as last
year's.
"I know that Charlie Stern
did a remarkable job in publicizing the Jazz Concert on
radio, TV, newspapers, and in
various other places and publications," Lounibos said.
, "I certainly do not feel that
this financial loss was was
Stern's fault, and I hope that
no one contributes the failure
to him. As far as his studies
and responsibilities were involved, Jie fulfilled them admirably. He did a remarkable
job.
"The loss incurred by the
ASUSF at last Sunday's Jazz
Concert definitely kills the
chances of any other such concerts," said Lounibos. "But,
I hope that this doesn't kill interest in future raffles.
FOGHORN receives 8th
ACP All-American rating
The Associated Collegiate
Press (A.C.P.) yesterday
awarded the FOGHORN its
seventh All-American citation
praising its "outstanding reporting and coverage" during
the fall semester of 1957.
The FOGHORN was one of
four twice-weekly papers in
the country to receive All-
American citations.
The A.C.P. award was presented on the basis of a critical evaluation of the FOGHORN'S fall semester issues
conducted by Gareth D. Hie-
bert, columnist and former assistant city-editor, of the St.
Paul Dispatch.
The ratings of the various
papers were made on a point
system covering twenty-two
categories, ranging from news
writing to make-up and photography. The minimum number of points necessary this
year for All-American standings was 3.500. The FOGHORN
qualified with 3.950 points.
Hiebert rated the FOGHORN superior in nine cate
gories and excellent ln ten.
The lowest rating accorded
the FOGHORN in any category was "very good."
Altogether the FOGHORN
received 450 "bonus" points
above the "excellent" ratings.
Hiebert awarded these bonus
points for such things as "superior news coverage which
gets into the nooks and crannies," and balance of news interest appealing "to all reader
groups."
Referring to the Homecoming Edition, he awarded thirty
extra points for "special issues" and "creativeness in articles," especially "those dealing with U.S.F. history."
Professionalism
In regards to the content of
news stories, Hiebert stated
"the staff writes with a professionalism that is nice to
read." He added that the FOGHORN'S writers "rate extra
credit for their knack of building stories around interesting
angles."
FOGHORN editorials were
rated as excellent, and editorial page features as superior. The sports page also
received superior rating
with the comment of "excellent style" attributed to
sports writing.
Hiebert considered the front
page make-up to have "a lot
of variety and eye appeal," and
the lead schedule excellent.
He criticized the FOGHORN
for "wordiness" in some articles and for use of cliches. He
also noted that the "photos
don't show up too well."
Representing a university
that offers only one journalism course, the FOGHORN
has now received All-American citations for seven of the
last eight semesters, from
1954 to 1957.
Last semester's staff included: Editor-in-Chief Don
Halog, Managing Editor Dick
Duris. Business Manager Bob
Verzello, City Editor Warren
Hinckle. Sports Editor Jerry
Finnigan. and Feature Pagt
Editor Frank Lavorato.

Time to vote
Class elections continue today. Voters

Labor leaders clash
over 'right to work'
Young Republicans' debate features
heated argument on initiative
By DICK DURIS
.FOGHORN Managing Editor
The controversial "right to
work" initiative was put
through the mill Wednesday
evening in a debate sponsored
by the Young Republicans of
San Francisco.
The debate, hetd in the
lecture room of Gleeson Library, pitted George Johns,
Chairman of the San Francisco Labor Council, against
Don Sands of the Right to
Work Committee.
United States Senator William F. Knowland is the advocate of this initiative,' which
proposes the outlawing of the
union shop and a "Workers'
Bill of Rights" in the form of
a congressional bill dealing
with "union democracy:"
Johns stated that there are
no rights involved.
Title misleading
"The title of the initiative is
misleading. Senator Know-
land's document does not advocate any rights for the
worker; instead, such a law
will endanger the worker.
' "Such a law would make an
open union shop compulsory,"
said Johns. "What Senator
Knowland wants may sound
good, but believe me there are
many pitfalls in such a law."
Comparing two cities, Reno,
Nevada, which has a right to
work law, and Chico, California
which hasn't such a law, Johns
illustrated his point stating:
"In Reno, where the right to
work bill has been put in, the
average wage is $79 compared
to $90 in Chico. Reno has no
welfare plan, no sick leave
program and no pension plan
whereas Chico has all of
these."
Feeling that the issue is
"choice" Sands stated:
"The problem boils down
to whether you want to earn
your bread and butter by
being compelled to join a
union. No lasting good has
come from compulsion. With
a closed shop the worker is
forced to pay dues and fees
in order to make a living; it
makes captive those who op-

Unsupported
Jazz fete
loses money
Civic Auditorium show
draws thin audience;
fund takes $3000 loss
By WILL REITH
FOGHORN Copy Editor
San Francisco's Civic Auditorium has a seating capacity
of 7,800. Paid admissions to
the ASUSF Jazz Concert last
Sunday evening were 1,300;
there were fifty-eight USF students who paid to attend the
three and one-half hour show.
The result: a net take of
$2,789 which "adds up" to an
overall loss of $3,000.
Charlie Stern, realizing the
dire straits into which ASUSF
finances were thrown, turned
down down, "out of the kindness of his heart,0 his ten per
cent commission, which would
have amounted to about $2SJ.
Lack of support
Stern attributed the loss
mainly to lack of student
support and cooperation.
Guy Lounibos, ASUSF Vice-
President, believes that such
a staggering financial loss
could not have been brought
about only one main cause
but by a combination of circumstances.
He gave the following causes
as behind Sunday evening's
concert's low attendance:
(1) Weak student backing
and cooperation;
(2) Billy Graham's evangelical crusade at the Cow Palace
and
(3) The Giants' doublehead-
er (which went into extra innings) that same Sunday evening;
(4) The mere fact that Sunday evening is a poor night to
hold public presentations;
(5) The lack of loose change
in Mr. General Public's pockets due to the present recession.
"The great success of last
year's Jazz Concert was due to
its strong support by the San
Francisco Symphony," said
Lounibos. "Sunday's concert
was not supported by that organization. We greatly underestimated the Symphony's
powerful support and its giant
mailing list of over 25,000.
Although this is conjecture, I venture to say that
the great majority of those
attending the jazz concert of
last year were friends of the
San Francisco Symphony.
Not capable
"We (the ASUSF) were just
not capable of replacing the
Symphony in regard to support and cooperation for the
Jazz Concert—even if our support and cooperation were
utilized to the maximum," said
Lounibos.
"I don't see how interest in
Jazz has dropped from last
year," Lounibos said., "There
certainly was no fault in publicity, for this year's publicity
was twice as good as last
year's.
"I know that Charlie Stern
did a remarkable job in publicizing the Jazz Concert on
radio, TV, newspapers, and in
various other places and publications," Lounibos said.
, "I certainly do not feel that
this financial loss was was
Stern's fault, and I hope that
no one contributes the failure
to him. As far as his studies
and responsibilities were involved, Jie fulfilled them admirably. He did a remarkable
job.
"The loss incurred by the
ASUSF at last Sunday's Jazz
Concert definitely kills the
chances of any other such concerts," said Lounibos. "But,
I hope that this doesn't kill interest in future raffles.
FOGHORN receives 8th
ACP All-American rating
The Associated Collegiate
Press (A.C.P.) yesterday
awarded the FOGHORN its
seventh All-American citation
praising its "outstanding reporting and coverage" during
the fall semester of 1957.
The FOGHORN was one of
four twice-weekly papers in
the country to receive All-
American citations.
The A.C.P. award was presented on the basis of a critical evaluation of the FOGHORN'S fall semester issues
conducted by Gareth D. Hie-
bert, columnist and former assistant city-editor, of the St.
Paul Dispatch.
The ratings of the various
papers were made on a point
system covering twenty-two
categories, ranging from news
writing to make-up and photography. The minimum number of points necessary this
year for All-American standings was 3.500. The FOGHORN
qualified with 3.950 points.
Hiebert rated the FOGHORN superior in nine cate
gories and excellent ln ten.
The lowest rating accorded
the FOGHORN in any category was "very good."
Altogether the FOGHORN
received 450 "bonus" points
above the "excellent" ratings.
Hiebert awarded these bonus
points for such things as "superior news coverage which
gets into the nooks and crannies," and balance of news interest appealing "to all reader
groups."
Referring to the Homecoming Edition, he awarded thirty
extra points for "special issues" and "creativeness in articles," especially "those dealing with U.S.F. history."
Professionalism
In regards to the content of
news stories, Hiebert stated
"the staff writes with a professionalism that is nice to
read." He added that the FOGHORN'S writers "rate extra
credit for their knack of building stories around interesting
angles."
FOGHORN editorials were
rated as excellent, and editorial page features as superior. The sports page also
received superior rating
with the comment of "excellent style" attributed to
sports writing.
Hiebert considered the front
page make-up to have "a lot
of variety and eye appeal," and
the lead schedule excellent.
He criticized the FOGHORN
for "wordiness" in some articles and for use of cliches. He
also noted that the "photos
don't show up too well."
Representing a university
that offers only one journalism course, the FOGHORN
has now received All-American citations for seven of the
last eight semesters, from
1954 to 1957.
Last semester's staff included: Editor-in-Chief Don
Halog, Managing Editor Dick
Duris. Business Manager Bob
Verzello, City Editor Warren
Hinckle. Sports Editor Jerry
Finnigan. and Feature Pagt
Editor Frank Lavorato.
